RCA dishes new 16GB SL5016 Lyra Slider MP3 player, we yawn

Really, RCA? You come all the way to Vegas to unload a slightly more capacious version of your already unexciting Lyra Slider MP3 player? As of today, consumers waiting on pins and needles for this here DAP to arrive with 16GB of memory built-in can thank their lucky stars, as the SL5016 offers just that. 'Course, we have no idea why you'd pay $119.99 for it, but maybe the bundled easyRip software is some amazing value-add that we just can't comprehend.

Simple to Use, Offer Fast and Easy Access to Most Frequently-Used Functions

Products Simplify Loading and Managing AV Content and Are More Intuitive Than Competitive Media Players

Las Vegas NV – January 7, 2009 - International CES, Booth 11006-10506 - Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX). With thousands of MP3 players in the market today, RCA has broken through the clutter of difficult-to-load and hard-to-operate competitive products with a line of digital media players that are the easiest to use players on the market thanks to RCA's exclusive easyRip™ Media Software.

easyRip Media Software is automatically activated when RCA MP3 players are connected to a PC, without needing a separate, extra CD-ROM installer like competitive products require. EasyRip allows for quick and simple loading and management of AV content and provides fast and easy access to frequently used functions. It is more intuitive than other jukeboxes and media players and, with interactive desktop tools, provides the user with a refreshingly easy experience.

Immediately after activating the MP3 player on a computer, widget icons (also called "widgets") appear on a PC and interactive desktop tools give quick and easy access to the most used activities. The easyRip software helps users organize a PC music library's music, videos, photos and playlists. The user can view and sort by artist, album and genre.

A user-friendly search bar provides quick and efficient access to files while serving up all the necessary information to edit, manage, and view those files. There are several ways to capture and upload music and video to RCA digital media players. First, the easyRip CD Ripper feature lets users easily download music directly to a PC library or the RCA digital media device. Next, the video recorder can capture Web video for playback on RCA video-capable devices. Additionally, the audio recorder captures any audio playing on a PC including streaming audio from the Web. Finally, the Media Playlists feature helps create personalized sets of songs or playlists, which can be quickly assembled, managed and edited. "EasyRip Media Software is the answer for getting the most complete, quality playback performance from RCA MP3 players," said Tom Malone, president, Audiovox Electronics Corporation.
